Congratulations Students!

Congratulations to all the students who performed at the Sandy Lake Music Festival today!  Beginning Band, Concert Band and Symphonic Band all did an outstanding job. 

We were judged by four of the most highly respected Band Directors in the business today:

Col. Jay Brewer - Texas A&M University
Dr. Ken Van Winkle - New Mexico State University
Dr. Ray Lichtenwalter - Univ. Texas at Arlington
Mr. Joe Gunn - Trinity High School

• All three bands received a 1st division rating from each judge and a first division trophy. 

• The Concert Band won the trophy for the Outstanding band in Class C.

• The Symphonic Band won the trophy for the Outstanding band in Class CC.

Thank you parent volunteers and Directors!

The catering team, led by Estella Castillo, bought, prepared, and served enough food to feed the Wolf-pack bands, their directors, the bus drivers, and the Chaperons.

The Chaperon team, led by Mrs. Aquino and Mr. Truncali, road buses, hauled equipment, supervised groups in the park, and supervised students in the performance area. 

This was an outstanding effort by more than 25 volunteers to organize, feed, supervise, and move 150 students in 3 different performances.

Thank you to Mr. Pogue and Mr. Lopez for the leadership and expertise the share with our students every day.  You are making a generous investment in our students that could never be repaid.

I'm am proud and humbled to be part of this band family.  Thank you students, parents, and directors!
